Speak out now against this Stalinist transgender revolution

A historian looking back on the West in general and the United Kingdom in particular in 2018 might wonder what on earth so possessed the soul of its civilisation that it embarked upon the destruction of the very scientific rationalism that helped it forge ahead, both intellectually and technologically, in the first place. And all in order to placate a group of people who wish to identify as something that they are not.

The phenomenon responsible is transgenderism. It seemingly arose from nowhere in the last five years but today its influence is such that Theresa May’s government wants to reform the Gender Recognition Act to force everyone into accepting that if somebody says that they are the sex they are not, it must be accepted on sanction of penalty for disagreeing.

There are of course a very small number of people with genuine anatomical ambiguities who could medically be described as intersex, or who suffer gender dysphoria which without doubt can be deeply distressing. But since the first Gender Recognition Act of 2004, people who choose to live as the opposite sex for two years and have been certified by a doctor can be officially recognised as that sex. Just 4,910 people in the UK have obtained such a certification in 14 years.

However the government’s consultation document on reform of the Act states that there are 200,000 to 500,000 trans people in the UK, though it admits that estimates ‘vary’ and ‘there is no truly robust estimate’ of their number.

The trans lobby, backed by Stonewall, appears determined to see the Gender Recognition Act ‘reformed’ so that anyone can self-certify as the opposite gender and be recognised as such immediately. Anyone who self-certifies will be given a new birth certificate declaring that they are the gender they are not. Theresa May has promised it, and her once-sensible Women and Equalities Minister Penny Mordaunt MP is championing the cause.

In the 75-point LGBT Action Plan published by the Government Equalities Office in July, Mordaunt declares herself to be a Stonewall LGBTI+ ally. This action plan promises to ‘extend the anti-homophobic, biphobic and transphobic bullying programme in schools’ (transparently a façade for indoctrinating the youngest of children into LGBT ideology), ‘take further action on LGBT hate crime’, even though hate crime is purely subjective, and to push and fund the LGBT agenda around the globe in a new and unwanted form of progressive colonialism.

These action points are backed up with large amounts of government money to which we are all contributing as taxpayers. £4.5million is promised to deliver commitments in the action plan and other projects.

This is the official expression of the furious, aggressive and sometimes violent street-fighting seen from trans activists in attempting to silence anyone who disagrees. This ideology, which only five years ago was on the fringes, has been mainstreamed to such an extent that it is now defended by the government with a revolutionary zeal.

The alliance between progressive interest groups is beginning to break up. Trans activists have become too Stalinist and gone too far for gay activists and radical feminists, who have found that their differing viewpoints are no longer allowed.

These are not just the concerns of competing identity groups, but of parents and grandparents across the country, concerned about the safety of their children and their natural development as boys and girls.

Despite all this, Theresa May’s government is going full steam ahead with her insane gender ‘reform’ plans even though only 18 per cent of voters support the reform. Tomorrow, I could stick on a wig and a dress and identify myself as Davina. If you refused to accept me as a woman then you’d be ‘harming my mental health’, and possibly committing a ‘hate crime’. The rational objective scientific fact that I am male and always will be is dispensed with in a page on the Statute book.

There are a few more days before the Government closes its consultation. You have till October 19 to make your views known via this link.

This reform is one of the most far-reaching and culturally destructive actions ever to come before Parliament. It will require everyone in the United Kingdom to reject the objective scientific truth that there is no difference between sex and gender, and that sex is determined by birth anatomy and chromosomes. If true conservatives do not act to stop Theresa May’s government’s absurdity, many people will find themselves punished by the law for speaking the truth.
